Abstract Aproximately 5,000–6,000 fungal species form ectomyorrhizae (ECM), the
symbiotic organs with roots of predominantly trees. The contributing fungi are not evenly …

Fungi play vital roles in ecosystems as endophytes, pathogens and saprobes. The current
estimate of fungal diversity is highly uncertain, ranging from 1.5 to 12 million, but only …

This article is the tenth series of the Fungal Diversity Notes, where 114 taxa distributed in
three phyla, ten classes, 30 orders and 53 families are described and illustrated. Taxa …

Fungi play key roles in ecosystems as mutualists, pathogens, and decomposers. Current
estimates of global species richness are highly uncertain, and the importance of stochastic …

Family Cortinariaceae currently includes only one genus, Cortinarius, which is the largest
Agaricales genus, with thousands of species worldwide. The species are important …

Using the basic GenBank local alignment search tool program (BLAST) to identify fungi
collected in a recently protected beech forest at Montricher (Switzerland), the number of ITS …

Abstract Agaricomycetes includes ca. 21,000 described species of mushroom-forming fungi
that function as decayers, pathogens, and mutualists in both terrestrial and aquatic habitats …

Thousands of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal species exist, but estimates of global species
richness of ECM fungi differ widely. Many genera have been proposed as being ECM, but in …

Different distance-based threshold selection approaches were used to assess and compare
use of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region to distinguish among 901 Cortinarius …

ABSTRACT In the Patagonian region, Cortinarius is the most diverse and abundant genus of
ectomycorrhizal fungi with at least 250 species. Sequestrate forms were until recently …
